I have a macro to copy a cell value from one workbook and paste special value into a cell in another workbook. I want to add some functionality to the macro to multiply the pasted cell value by 1,000.

I can not seem to duplicate the key strokes I would use to do this mannualy in the worksheet. In other words what would be the code to:

F2 (edit cell mode)
Home key (move to the front of the value, use only if cell vaalue not negative)
+key (if not negative)
end key (move to end of value)
* (multiplication sign)
1000
enter

If I use the macro recorder I end up with the same cell value every time.

Any help would be appreciated

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Are you saying that it must be a formula, rather than a value?

Try:

Code:
Sub Test()
    With ActiveCell
        If .HasFormula Then
            .Formula = .Formula & "*1000"
        Else
            .Formula = "=" & .Formula & "*1000"
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Thanks Guys...I gues I was not to clear in my request. In the mean time I scatched my head a little harder and came up with the solution:

ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.value * 1000

Thanks again,
